Is “follow thread” a good idea as a one click mastodon feature? As in, not quite a favorite but “I would like the replies to this post to also appear in my feed whether they normally would or not.”
(I haven’t thought about this in adversarial terms, perhaps obviously.)
this Strait of Hormuz story makes IT decision-makers who get locked in to one SaaS vendor look remarkably responsible and forward-thinking
If all you do in your tech career is:
1. When something is slow, you look carefully at the output of a profiler or a query plan & make measured suggestions about what to improve;
2. When something breaks badly, you gently but insistently ask what & why until you truly know, then the next time similar work is needed you bring up how to avoid doing what broke last time; and
3. When someone lacks info, you make them feel good for learning instead of bad for not knowing;
You will do good work.
@evan @johnefrancis Oh FFS, these posts are so pointless. How do they help with anything?
@johnefrancis no you haven't

@danbri 😡
I find such good advice on here sometimes. I've been putting off being irritable and quarrelsome for too long.
@evan depends what you mean by “can”?
There is a self-selection that gives the fedi a particular culture. E.g., I am here because I find targeted adtech social media disgusting human torture chambers.
But to think of the fediverse as "positive" oriented is strange. There are recurring episodes of toxic attacks on anybody expressing an opinion that doesn't fit the echo chamber and that's just my limited graph.
Being open source, decentralized etc is not a magic wand that fixes inherent limits of online worlds.
